Chapter 146: Comparison
Qin Yanci said, “Go out for a walk.”
He's pretending to be a decent person at home with her, but all he thinks about is how to manipulate her.
He's going crazy.
He even thought about going back to the hotel. Out of sight, out of mind.
But when he got to the front door of the hotel, he didn't want to stay for a second.
We're the same body.
Why should the other guy have such a beautiful wife?
While I'm suffering like a monk?
Therefore, he came back.
Ying Sisi suggested, “Why don't we go visit your friend named Shen Zhengrong? He went to the countryside but returned to the city after less than half a year by passing the college entrance exam. He's lucky. Let's get some of that luck.”
Qin Yanci thought, Ying Sisi knows Shen Zhengrong. So the guy left a note saying he had met Shen Zhengrong. Was Sisi with him at the time? I should go visit him. He smiled. “Can you get luck from others?”
“Yes!”
Qin Yanci agreed. “Shall we go now?”
“Give me a minute to comb my hair.” Ying Sisi went into the bathroom. She combed her hair neatly and tied it up in front of the mirror. “Let's go.”
"."
They bought gifts and arrived at the door of Shen's house.
Qin Yanci said to the cleaning lady who was sweeping in the shadow of the wall. “Hello, Ma'am. I'm a friend of Shen Zhengrong's. My surname is Qin. Is he home?”
“He's home. Please wait here a moment while I ask him.”
Qin Yanci said, “Okay. Thank you.”
Ying Sisi looked around. It was an old-fashioned house with a vermilion door and a stone lion on each side.
It was much more impressive than the Qin family's courtyard.
She whispered, “Your friend's family seems to be very influential. They live in such a big house.”
Qin Yanci explained softly, “The Shen family is a well-known family in Beijing. Shen Zhengrong's grandfather used to be an official. He retired later. His dad and his uncle both fought in wars. They have a wide network, so they are indeed very influential.”
“A family of loyal heroes?”
Qin Yanci almost laughed out loud. “You can't just describe them that way. Loyal heroes refers to those who died heroically. They're still alive.”
Ying Sisi covered her mouth.
A moment later.
Shen Zhengrong came. He was a little surprised. “Qin Yanci, what brings you here today?”
“I made time to see you.”
“I'm honored. Come in, please.” Shen Zhengrong walked and recalled their time on the farm with Qin Yanci. “Working the fields and plowing the land was tiring back then, but it was a peaceful sleep. Since I came back to Beijing, I haven't slept through the night.”
Qin Yanci commented, “You don't know how good you have it.”
Shen Zhengrong chuckled. I have a big mouth. I always say the wrong thing. He wanted to leave all the time. He's different from me. “Sister-in-law, you don't have to go to work today?”
“I don't have to go to work.” Ying Sisi said. As she spoke, she looked up and noticed Shen Zhengrong staring at her. She was flustered.
Qin Yanci cleared his throat. “Shen Zhengrong, what are you looking at?”
This is my wife!
Are you being polite, kid?
Shen Zhengrong stood up and went back into the house. He took out a picture frame and held it up in front of Qin Yanci. “This is my little cousin. This is your wife. Don't you think they look alike?” He thought she looked familiar last time, but he didn't think of her as his little cousin.
Qin Yanci compared the two of them. Their facial features and eyebrows were similar. “A little bit.”
“Not a little bit. They look very much alike. And your wife's skin is like my family's skin. Everyone in my family is fair.”
Qin Yanci said, “There are many fair-skinned people. Are they all your family?”
I've never seen anyone eager to claim a relative.
Shen Zhengrong was speechless. He turned to Ying Sisi and asked, “When I heard you speak earlier, your accent wasn't local. Where are you from?” His voice was soft and sweet. It sounded rather fresh.
Ying Sisi said, “Southern Province.”
“Where in Southern Province?”
